High Britannia, High! (Reprise)
Only bad things can happen when miserliness meets masochism… especially when they merge over a supermarket bargain bin, bulging with remaindered DVDs. For some reason I felt compelled to finish what I’d started back in May, by picking up the … Continue reading
Getting past it…
I was worried I’d set myself up for disappointment over the new series of Getting On by hyping myself into a tizzy… so it came as quite a relief to find that the show actually was worth all the build-up. … Continue reading

A Daisy by Any Other Name…
Normally I’d be loathe to recommend anything to do with The Mail on Sunday, since its parent paper is such a reprehensible right-wing rag… but the glossy mag that comes with it did have a great interview with Jessica Hynes … Continue reading

Affirmation in Acting
Although I have nothing but contempt for the character she portrays in Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging, I think Georgia Groome actually gives a great performance as her namesake. On the DVD commentary, she claims that they had to use … Continue reading
